All network +type actions are done through proxy methods to Net::SMTP, Net::POP3 etc. + +Built from my experience with TMail, it is designed to be a pure ruby +implementation that makes generating, sending and parsing emails a no +brainer. + +It is also designed form the ground up to work with Ruby 1.9. This is because +Ruby 1.9 handles text encodings much more magically than Ruby 1.8.x and so +these features have been taken full advantage of in this library allowing +Mail to handle a lot more messages more cleanly than TMail. Mail does run on +Ruby 1.8.x... it's just not as fun to code. + +Finally, Mail has been designed with a very simple object oriented system +that really opens up the email messages you are parsing, if you know what +you are doing, you can fiddle with every last bit of your email directly. |
